“The aromas of fresh green apple have a pleasant earthy note. On the palate, this green apple freshness is completely enveloped by creamy, expressive notes of yeast, earth, and cream. The wonderful freshness gives it a light, airy quality. The finish is perfectly clean, leaving you wanting to come back for more and more.” (Wine Enthusiast 2018) Fresh bubbles Organic !

Bettane & Desseauve

Rated estate (2020 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The Rieflés—Jean-Claude and his sons Thomas and Paul—significantly expanded their vineyard when they acquired the plots formerly owned by Seppi Landmann; their vineyards now stretch from Pfaffenheim to Soultzmatt, at the far end of the Noble Valley. They practice viticulture with the utmost care, giving careful consideration to soil conservation, and this has been evident in the wines’ taste for the past few vintages. This is especially true now that Jean-Claude Rieflé has moved away from his experiments with natural wines, which had us more than intrigued a few years ago. Their terroir-driven wines express a gastronomic salinity.

Rated Estate (2020 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

For the Rieflé family, it’s a family tradition: the first winemaker in the family appeared as early as 1830. Today, Thomas tends the vineyards, Paul handles sales, and Jean-Claude, the father, makes the wine. But it’s their daily collaboration that drives the estate forward. The 2011 vintage, marked by the acquisition of the famous Seppi Landmann estate, coincides with the start of a winemaking approach aimed at greater purity: more body and texture, but without excess sugar, and slightly longer aging on fine lees. New labeling also promises greater clarity in the range of wines offered. Finally, note the entry-level wines categorized by style, which may be blends: L’Éclat, a dry wine; L’Aplomb, round and full-bodied; and the aromatic L’Arabesque. L’Étoffe is the red.
